Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.67%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could inspire the similar profit-taking in the local bourse today; the Nikkei is down 1.2% in early trade.

While the STI managed to conquer the initial 2650 hurdle, it looks unlikely that this level will hold as an immediate support; instead, we should see the index slipping back to 2600.

Here’s more from OCBC:

For now, we expect 2600 to hold, and should see another attempt to push towards 2700 in the coming sessions.

However, should the index fail to clear 2700 or come close to testing it, we could see selling into strength resuming as the overall downtrend remains intact for now.

Below 2600, we peg the next support at 2521.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
